What do you mean by support?  I have a similar setup (pcHDTV and WinTV) working with a few work-arounds -- mainly, I've given all of the ATSC channels higher channel numbers (100+), since myth doesn't yet seem to recognize when it's time to switch between the tuners in channel browse mode, and switch manually between the inputs with "y" while watching live TV.  Recording and even picture-in-picture work fine (though the "switch" options in PiP don't seem to do anything).
